Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 1994;0(11):-
From 1992 to 1994,investigations and experiments of the botanical and biological habit,seed treatment,and control of diseases and pests of Euphorbia kansui were conducted in Yuncheng. Results showed that sexual reproduction is better than asexual,and sowing in autumn is better in spring. Biological characteristics such as afterripening of the seed and summer dormancy of the plant are also revealed. In the end of 1994,the yield of sexual reproduction of E. kansui grown 3 or 4 years was 254. 90~344. 98g/m2 and the tubers are larger and whiter,with enough granular powder. The annual net income is 50~65 Yuan/m2. No identifiable variation in the cultivated plant was observed,and its chemical composition proved to be the same as that of the natural one,which complied with the criteria of the Pharmacopoeia. A complete and feasible cultivation programmehas been summed up,which provides a scientific basis for the protection of medicinal herbal resources and the benefit of medical herb cultivators

Objective To summarize the clinical presentation, pathology features, and treat-ment principle for primary testicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Methods Twelve patients were di-agnosed with primary testicular lymphoma. The mean age was 62 years (36-78). Of the patients, unilateral primary testicular tumors were found in 11 cases and bilateral tumors were found in 1 case. All cases had swollen testes, 3 cases had mild pain and 1 had low-grade fever. Ultrasonic examination detected solid mass in all 12 cases. CT scan revealed retroperitoneal enlarged lymph nodes in 3 cases. Nine patients were diagnosed with disease of stage Ⅰ E, 2 of stage Ⅱ E, and 1 of stage Ⅲ E. All of the patients underwent radical orchiectomies. Postoperative treatment included: CHOP chemotherapy for 10 cases, radiotherapy after chemotherapy for 5 cases, and surgery alone for 2 cases. Results Post-operative pathology results were non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in all cases. One patient lost in follow up, one died within 2 years because of other disease. The 1, 3 and 5 year actual survival rates were 82% (9/11) ,40%(4/10),20% (2/10), respectively. The relapsed organs included contralateral testis(3/ 11), central nervous system(3/11), liver(1/11)and retroperitoneal lymph node(1/11). Conclusions The prognosis of the primary testicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is very poor. Chemotherapy must be used after surgery for any stage. Stage Ⅰ E and Ⅱ E patient should be treated by surgery combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Contralateral testis should be irradiated prophylactically. Pa-tients beyond stage Ⅱ E should accept chemotherapy after surgery and radiotherapy according to the patient's status.

OBJECTIVE: To observe effects of polyanhydride-three-dimensional vector-glucan material on the fetal liver stem cell adhesion and proliferation.METHODS: The two-step collagenase perfusion digestion and bliquid percoll discontinuous density gradient centrifugation was used to isolate fetal liver stem cells. Fetal liver stem cells at the third passage were incubated on the polyanhydride-three-dimensional vector-glucan material. Inverted microscope was utilized to observe cell adhesion and growth status. Cell adherent rate, proliferation activity were calculated, and cell number was counted. Cell-vector was obtained for tissue section. Using hematoxylin-eosin staining, cell growth in the vector was observed under the optical microscope. At 7 days,immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry were used to determine marker expression.RESULTS: Polyanhydride-three-dimensional vector-glucan promoted grow and adhesion of liver stem cells. There was the active function of the liver stem cells within carrier materials. In the three-dimensional surface and the internal culture, liver stem cell proliferation was sustained. After 10 days, the polyanhydride common culture-three-dimensional vector-glucan on stem cells was non-toxic, and human fetal liver stem cells could be attached to the polyanhydride-three-dimensional vector-glucan stent. The cell proliferation was better and dynamic sustained expression of markers. 7-days training received 19.7 percent increase in the number of cells.CONCLUSION: Polyanhydride-three-dimensional vector-glucan promotes the proliferation of liver stem cells, and liver stem cells can be used as the vector in liver tissue engineering.

Objective To investigate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphism (677C→T) of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase and Alzheimer′s disease(AD) in south China Han people. Methods By applying polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), MTHFR 677C→T mutation was detected in 45 AD patients and 48 healthy controls. Results The frequency of MTHFR 677C→T mutation of patients showed no significant difference to that of healthy controls (P > 0.05). There is no statistic significance between AD group and controls in C, T gene frequency(P>0.05). But T gene frequency is higher in AD group than in control group. Conclusion MTHFR C 677T is not the pathogenic factor for AD, but could have some effects on AD.

Objective To study the impact of TDGF-1 gene silience by small interfering RNA(siRNA)on the invasion and migration of human breast cancer cell. Methods 3 siRNA fragments were designed according to the characteristic of TDGF-1 gene sequence and the most appropriate siRNA was selected by fluorescence real-time quantitative RT-PCR method. After the human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-468 was transfected by the selected TDGF-1 siRNA, mRNA and protein of TDGF-1 were determined by real time quantitative RT-PCR and western blot respectively. The migration and invasion ability of the cancer cell were evaluated by wound-healing assay and Boyden chamber model respectively. Results siRNA could down-regulate the level of mRNA and protein of TDGF-1 in a dose-and time-dependent manner. In vitro experiment showed that TDGF-1 siRNA transfection can effectively inhibit the clonal growth, invasion and migration of breast cancer cell in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusions TDGF-1 gene may play an important role in the migration and invasion of human breast cancer cells. siRNA transfection can inhibit the invasion of human breast cancer cells.

Objective To discuss how to determine the operative margin in breast-conserving surgery in patient with early-stage breast cancer. Methods The breast-conserving surgery was performed on 111 patients with early-stage breast cancer who met the indication of breast-conserving. The operative incision was performed on normal breast tissue 1cm from the tumour edge and then the frozen sections of the surgical margin tissue were done to confirm that tumour was completely excised. The individualized therapy was performed according to pathologic examination and clinical stage. All patients were followed up regularly. Results 111 patients with early stage breast cancer received breast-conserving surgery and all had good curative effect except one patient had a local recurrence during the follow-up. Conclusions Operative incision on normal breast tissue 1cm from the tumour edge and frozen section of the surgical margin tissue are two crucial procedures to ensure the success of breast-conserving surgery and increase the life quality of patient with breast cancer.
